Wearing nothing new on TED talk I found this link on one of the blogs I read , While Tangerine Dreams , I seriously can not wait to read her posts. In my mind Kathy and I are sisters, even though she has no clue who I am lol. In this post she talks about not buying anything new, now this is something close to my heart. I love to thrift store, recycling and refashioning bring me great joy. Check out both links be sure to listen to the life lessons Jessie Arrington has and give second hand a try. I am making beads today, I know twice in one month lol. Have a great day everyone!

This is what I have been working one, the first one is for me. I love the colors in this skirt. I will tweek the design a bit for the ones I make to sell. What do you think

With gas prices the way they are we are trying very hard not to drive unnecessarily. You know not making "little" runs here and there, so when we do run errands it can be a marathon. Willow has moved from a car seat to a booster seat, and taking a nap in one of those is hard on the neck. I had been looking for a travel pillow I could keep in the truck. I didn't want to pay a ton for one either. I looked online to see what I could make. I not only found something I could made but I could also recycle. This is so cute and it works great too. My model is taking a bath right now or I would have shown you this in action. Betz White has a great blog with lots of refashioning and recycling tutorials. If you remember my felted flower pins,, thats where I got the idea from. Here is the tutorial for the neck roll. This came in very handy on our recent trip to Chicago!

I have to admit I spend a good potion of my internet time reading other peoples blogs. As of late I have be obsessed with sewing and refashioning sites. I just love how creative people are with clothing, I have so many ideas I can't wait to work on them. Don't worry I still love my glass and jewelry and will be posting more jewelry very soon. I am working on a new line, so check back. This is going to be just a small listing of some of my favorite sites for refashioning.
